For today's news, we've got Episode 13 of Downtime Tuesday, Warcraft Logs' Patreon, the 6.2 PTR Raid Testing Schedule for this week, and a spotlight on a new S.E.L.F.I.E. guide on Wowhead.\r\r\rDowntime Tuesday\rDowntime Tuesday Episode 13 with Panser provides a TL;DR of what's new in the last week--Children's Week, Pepe Costumes, and more!\r\r\r\rSources and links:\rChildren's Week\rWowhead Transmog\rWarcraft Movie Delay\rLeft Shark\/Pepe Costumes\r\r\rWarcraft Logs Patreon\rMany raiders use and love Warcraft Logs, a resource that's redefined combat logs in Warlords of Draenor with many innovative features. Warcraft Logs exists as a free resource, developed entirely by one player, Kihra, a longtime Mythic raider who wanted better tools for raid progression--so he built his own site to help others. \r\rIt's no surprise that when there was a drought of combat log tools in Siege of Orgrimmar, many raiders embraced Warcraft Logs and its popularity has skyrocketed as even more features have been added in Warlords.\r\rDue to the sudden increase in traffic in Warlords, he's started a Patreon to offset server costs and upgrades while keeping all features free. Donating as little as $1 per month can help, and at the time of writing this article, Warcraft Logs is close to its first funding milestone.\r\rYou can donate and learn more about the Patreon at https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/warcraftlogs. There are rewards for donating $1, $3, and $10 per month.\r\rIf you're new to raiding and want to learn more about how to use Warcraft Logs, check out our guide!\r\rPTR Raid Testing Schedule\rHellfire Citadel heroic raid testing continues this week, with LFR testing on the weekend. Check out the Hellfire Citadel dungeon journal to learn about the bosses and their abilities.\rThis Wednesday and Thursday, we will continue our Hellfire Citadel raid testing. As is always the case with PTR raid testing, it is quite possible that there will be technical or gameplay issues that disrupt our plans. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.<br\/><br\/>Remember that Heroic difficulty scales for any group size between 10 and 30 players, so feel free to assemble and bring a group of any size within that range. Our general plan is to test every encounter on Heroic difficulty first, and then test sections of the raid on Normal and Raid Finder, alongside targeted Mythic tests.<br\/><br\/>Each encounter should be available at approximately the listed times below on all PTR servers.<br\/><br\/><strong><span class="underline">Wednesday, April 29<\/span><\/strong><br\/><br\/>Hellfire High Council - Heroic Hellfire Citadel <br\/>13:30 PDT (16:30 EDT, 22:30 CEST)<br\/><br\/>Mannoroth - Heroic Hellfire Citadel <br\/>15:00 PDT (18:00 EDT, 24:00 CEST)<br\/><br\/><strong><span class="underline">Thursday, April 30<\/span><\/strong><br\/><br\/>Hellfire Assault - Heroic Hellfire Citadel <br\/>13:30 PDT (16:30 EDT, 22:30 CEST)<br\/><br\/>Socrethar the Eternal - Heroic Hellfire Citadel <br\/>15:00 PDT (18:00 EDT, 24:00 CEST)<br\/><br\/><em>After the conclusion of our final Thursday test, we will open the Halls of Blood Raid Finder wing (Council, Kilrogg, and Gorefiend), and we plan to leave that wing active through the weekend. There will be no scheduled Friday testing.<\/em><br\/><br\/>As always, this testing schedule is very fluid and subject to the realities of a PTR environment. We might have to change the time of a testing session, change the boss being tested, or cancel a test entirely, due to bugs, server hardware issues, etc. Keep an eye on this forum for the latest information, and thank you in advance for testing and providing feedback.<br\/><br\/><span class="underline"><strong>Important Testing Notes<\/strong><\/span><br\/><br\/><em>Q: How do I get into the raid zone?<\/em><br\/><br\/>A: In Stormwind, Orgrimmar, and your garrison, you may speak to Nexus-Lord Donjon Rade in order to teleport into the raid zone while it is open for testing. (The option to teleport into a zone will not be available when the zone is not open for testing.) You can also teleport to Tanaan and just walk in the standard entrance.<br\/><br\/><em>Q: How long does testing last?<\/em><br\/><br\/>A: The primary purpose of testing is to give us the information we need to balance the encounters, evaluate how mechanics are playing out in practice, and identify bugs. Once we're satisfied that we've received that information for a given boss, we'll be shutting down testing. Usually this takes anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours, but there are no guarantees.\r\r\rAdvanced S.E.L.F.I.E. Guide\rLearn how to take the perfect selfie with An Advanced S.E.L.F.I.E Guide to Being Really, Really Ridiculously Good Looking. Kaleri, the author, has made an art of taking humorous WoW Selfies each day, which she shares on her Twitter. Several have even been featured in Blizzard's selfie gallery!\r\rIf you're interested in adding some variety to your selfies, the guide provides tips on how emotes, toys, pets, and more can change the look of your selfie--with bonus screenshot examples.\r\rWe know not all players love selfies, but those that do get really into snapping pictures, so we wanted to highlight this guide for those that enjoy it!\r\r\r\rApril 28th Hotfixes\r\rClass\rStregone\r\r General\r \r Fellhunter's Blocca Incantesimo ability and the version of Blocca Incantesimo obtained through Rito del Sacrificio should now correctly share a cooldown with each other.\r \r\rQuests\rLegendary Ring Quest Line\r\rUn lavoro da infiltrati: Reduced the number of guards present and amount for health on all guards in the quest area.\r\rSavane Meridionali\r\rFiato ai cannoni: Barca a Remi Gridoatroces should now continue to spawn.\r\rBug Fixes\rAchievements\r\rMamma ho perso la pietra can now be completed using alternate versions of a Pietra del Ritorno such as Figlia del Locandiere or Pietra del Ritorno alla Guarnigione.\r \r

I really want to want to use the the selfie feature\r\rBut there's no way to make my character stop making the stupidest faces at the camera.\r\rI just want a nice handheld perspective screenshot that includes my character with all the effects the camera offers that doesn't make me look like a complete spazz. :<

Shoulder armor doesn't move when she puts her arm up, so the pauldrons glitch through her body. Not a good look D:

Not everyone has spare cash, but a lot of people are surprised the option exists so just tossing it out there.

So, let me get this straight. People will cough up $1 to support Warcraft Logs, but they fought tooth and nail to keep donations from Solidice and oQueue. Tiny incurred the costs of keeping oQueue up for two years and was blasted for asking for donations... this community is very fickle and it's sad.

Because reasons?

Because they think they deserve the service for free. In their twisted little minds, they've done something to earn it.It's the ugly side of instant gratification tech.

Ive got nothing against people asking for money for things like logs or addons. But logs and parses has been the worst thing for the raiding community.

But logs and parses has been the worst thing for the raiding community.\r\rSome people use them for the wrong reasons but they are an invaluable tool at the high end. Cutting-edge raiders use those parses to figure out if a strategy is viable or not or if they need to make changes.\r\rNow if a raid leader insists on over-analyzing a parse before they hire you, that can be really bad and encourage people to artificially pad their dps meters just to look good on logs.

Bug Fixes\rAchievements\r Home Alone can now be completed using alternate versions of a Hearthstone such as The Innkeeper's Daughter or Garrison Hearthstone.\r Nooo! It's too late! I've already done this achievement, yesterday, by saving again in the tavern where I have been already saved and getting a new Heartstone from it (had only Innkeeper's Daughter before).

i wish i could donate, but sometimes life has me so tight financially that i just need to not. (i did get the funds though to get a wowhead patron status) it is hard to survive on your own, in the city, own place, own car.
